Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2839

"Originally, I planned to kill you outright," Andrew hissed as he withdrew his great sword and walked toward Trinity Grand Hall.

Everything was settled, and he needed to say goodbye to Luther. However, as he passed by Roman lying on the ground, he stopped.

He looked down at Roman, whose eyes filled with terror as he gritted his teeth without making a sound.

Meanwhile, the surrounding Mount Lourneau apprentices all watched Andrew with awe and respect. Overnight, his entire presence had transformed, leaving these apprentices unable to adjust.

Andrew continued, "But for Mount Lourneau's sake, and for Mr. Johnston's sake, I'm sparing your life this once. However, only this once!"

With those words, Andrew walked away.

Though Roman was spared, his face flushed red with humiliation at what he perceived as a massive insult. He shouted, "Andrew, how could you possibly become this strong overnight? And how did you know about my plans?"

Without looking back, Andrew replied coldly, "I had my suspicions from the moment I first met you. Later, when I insisted on leaving Mount Lourneau, and you pretended to warmly urge me to stay, I became even more certain of your ill intentions. Once I connected the dots, it wasn't hard to figure out that you'd already become Guillermo's lapdog."

Roman broke into violent coughing fits from sheer anger, but he also felt intense fear. He suddenly realized that Andrew had seen straight through him from the start. Yet Andrew still stayed despite knowing the danger, and that level of nerve and resolve chilled Roman to the bone.

Unwilling to give up, he demanded, "Then what about your strength? How did you become like this overnight?"

Andrew still ignored him, simply because he found the question beneath him. Roman could also tell that Andrew refused to answer out of pure disdain.

"Mr. Johnston." Andrew greeted respectfully.

Luther smiled bitterly. "No need for such formalities! Andrew, truth be told, Mount Lourneau hasn't really helped you with much, and I haven't done anything significant for you either. Everything you've achieved is due to your own fate and natural talent."

Andrew shook his head. "Sir, you can't say that. Without that ancient technique, I could never have reached my current level of power."

Luther smiled and replied, "Alright then. Since you've fully recovered, there are still some things I need to tell you. Although that ancient manual was left behind by Mr. Gallagher, it doesn't belong to Mount Lourneau. Now it seems that destiny has already chosen you. Andrew, you faced three trials of the heart. And in the final trial, I could tell you didn't walk out of it completely."

Andrew stayed silent.
